A 53-year-old algebra teacher wired $16,000 to a man he'd never met, leaving a note that read "For Glenn - you already won." This was the culmination of a meticulously crafted romantic scam, built over five weeks of daily chess games. How did a genuinely careful person fall victim to such a sophisticated fraud?
In this episode, we uncover the elaborate architecture of a scam designed to exploit one man's habits and longings. Discover how a seemingly innocent chess challenge evolved into a series of urgent financial requests, each calibrated to feel real and different from the last.
Person: Wayne Fitzgerald
Age: 53
Location: Harwick, Minnesota
Amount Wired: $16,000
Date: December 7, 2019
